Overview

The Neighborhood of the Arts is Rochester's arts district. It is home to a lot of interesting people, great architecture, and some nifty public art. As recently as the 1990s, what was then called Atlantic-University was considered a "bad neighborhood" marred by abandoned and decaying industrial buildings.

Despite its boom, NOTA remains diverse and affordable, offering many housing options from the modest to the high-end. Your choices include lofts, single-family Victorians (especially in the PACE section), mansions divided into luxury units, and modern apartment complexes.
